When will we be able to advance our characters again? (i.e new classes/jobs)

[Ptolemy]

Doing end-game is pointless really because of the kind of progression route you guys decided to follow, would be nice to get something new to level or atleast some info about when its coming

[Heavell]

As long as we don't get news about 1st expansion, we'll never hear about new job.

[Assirra]

With the new expansion and not earlier most likely.

To answer the OP question:
the moment Yoshida bring them ingame

[Ravengeringura]

If i see one more person say endgame is pointless due to vertical progression i'm going to gouge my own eyes out ; ; play the game for the fun/experience of boss kills not for gear lol, that and if you get the best gear on a per patch basis you will be ahead of the curve for the next lot of content

Then your job should pay you in Zimbabwe dollars rather than USD/Euro's/Whatever right? As you work for the satisfaction of a hard days work and a love for repetitive tasks, not money, right?


Loot is supposed to be the big pay day at the end, the carrot that leads you on. It is certainly very important to enjoy the trip, but when you find out all your carrots have turned to ash, you feel a bit let down.

Maybe to you, not to everyone. To many gear is a MEANS TO AN END not the end itself, so 'vertical progression' when that means endless and tedious grinding of phat lewt for its own sake IS NOT FUN.

You derisive comments about currencies seems to clearly show your mindset.

Sure, as long as I get paid the piddling amount of money I need for personal food and utilities, I would much rather have a job that is personally satisfying. I love doing what I do, and would not trade it for a moment for a high-payed and probably stressful job I don't like.

On topic, way back when, Yoshi-P claimed they were going to try to push out extra jobs and classes in patches to keep old legacy players happy. More recently though, they have backtracked on that a bit and said "in the expansion". I tried to track down the quote where he said that, but I couldn't find it. He could have misspoke, but honestly at this point there's no way to tell until the patch notes come out; for 2.2 and 2.3, maybe even 2.4.

My carrop is roleplaying, decorating the house I plan to get when personal housing comes out, playing with the chocobo farm, collecting the minions. It just so happens I was lucky enough to be in a FC that raids, so my i86 whm gets some shiny gears every so often too. However, with lockouts and extremely rare droprate for whm gear, loot could never be my carrop. I would be raging like all the others then.

OH, and putting cute hairstyles on my character. I like dressing her up like my own digital barbie doll since being 23 and playing with a barbie isn't quite cool anymore. But I do like playing online with everyone elses Ken and Barbies! lol


Edit: Or instead of Ken, GI. Joe... I know some of you guys. =p

[Pence]

So your solution to 'end game is boring' is 'add 3 days of leveling before that job reaches endgame' as opposed to suggesting fixes for said boring endgame? Okay.
